First off, no this isn't intended to be a kick to the nuts... I read the other article that was posted and when looking at the 2, 3 and 4 win teams with 4 games to go - things could get interested if KC and/or JAX decide to win 2 of 4.

KC is set up well with 3 of 4 road games. Jags have a mixed schedule.
Eagles, Raiders and Panthers... they're only 1 game out and anything happens if KC or JAX wins 2.

Browns, Cards and Lions all have interesting matchups as well that (depending on how the tiebreakers work out), maybe they're all in the mix as well.

It's going to be a nail biting 4 weeks for those hoping to get the #1 pick. (ok, that last part was a kick in the nuts)

I've got a bad feeling, that we're going to end the year on a winning streak and pick in the 5 range. Hello Manti Te'o.

Worst possible outcome...

It's not so much that it's necessary that they have the 1st pick. It's their evaluation of their picks that bother me. Their picking the wrong guys. The scouting under Pioli has been absolute shit. Someone should of been shit canned years ago. Hell they would of never took a guy like Kapernick probably because he has too many tattoos.

Drafts are funny though, especially when you look at the top of the draft... hell, the rookie cap makes things much easier for teams. And, if you have a big need at a given position (say QB) and you take him 10-12 spots higher than the experts project, so be it. If that's your need - go fill it.

This really easy to calculate for two teams in the same division since their schedules are near identical.

Difference 1. Chiefs play the Raiders while the Raiders play the Chiefs. But we don't care about the tiebreaker unless the have identical records. These cancel out.

Diffence 2. AFC east opponents. We play the Bills while the
Raiders play Miami. Small difference by the end of the season.

Difference 3. AFC South opponents. We play the Colts while the Raiders play Jacksonville. The Colts are going to have a much stronger record than Jax by the end of the season. This difference will be decisive.

We will have the stronger SOS and will draft after the Raiders if we are tied.

With just four weeks to go in the 2012 NFL season, it’s likely going to go down to the last week of the season to see who will own the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. The current draft order is below along with the tiebreaker, which is opponent’s win/loss record:
